That case is already handled: the spec requires the program to be launchable 
with no arguments if it's present in the menu. There is no case of an 
application that cannot be launched with zero filename or URL arguments if that 
.desktop file is in the menu.

If it's not in the menu (NoDisplay=true), then it can only be launched via file 
association. In which case, it will be only launched with exactly one filename 
or URL argument.
